SOUTHERN POLITICS. Istv totfclegtam la CM^|la-CMMrTiil? Id Tennc?*??. JU., GEORGIA. iXHEETfj' LtTTXR OP ACCIPTANC* OK TBB ENOW NOTHING OTBIRNATORI AL NOMINATION. vVASHiNfirov, July 16, 1865. [)lai Bin? Tbe above letter vu received at the Meatvale Spi togs, in fenneeeee, where I bad gone for the benefit of my health. I had ordered my correspon dence from home to be forwarded tome at that point, ud received it by the same mail that brought you in, tat aa the reoeption waa in the same hoar of my departure for nome, no sufficient opportunity was given for answering en rouU. After reading the correspondence whUh had accumulated during my absenoe, I have taken the first moment to answer year communication. Bo much, air, on aseount of wbat might, to you and other frienda, appear an iadiffnenee to my podtion, if unexplained 1 apprehend it is known to you, that btfore the MBination mentioned in your communioation, I had very positively ds. lined the honor which 1 had reason to believe might*' be tendered me by the Macon Convention. The main reasoi for re fusal waa a desire that an organisation shoo d be sieved, under what is known as the Colambas movement, which I hoped would oonvene, and as I advised my friends, nominate another. I trusted hy this time there would h ive been su^h develope meats as would justify me in an effort to consum sate my oiiginal wishes. But I discover fr >m the newspapers of the day, and other source*, that no arganizatioa under tne Columbus movement wi'l likely take place, or, if it should, be of suoh magui tade as to supersede the one whoie comaitttee man {on are. As the democratic party hid previously, y refusal to join in toe Columbus movement, de pvived it of the power of assuming the atti tnde of anything 1 ke State unanimity, and as the joining ui such organization might nave oa l the appearance of a disbanding of the Ameri an party in Georgia, and as it might have filled to pans a resolution tbat I should nave considered a yua non, >t is perhaps wise that no afBiiatfm has t? ken place other than what appears in one of ths resoluions of your convention. Daly impress ed with the leJ-ponsibihty of refusing rfb high an honor, tendered by so large and rasptstabio a bod; of men as tte American part y, 1 could not excuse * myself for declining tne same, without very weighty, not to cay irresistible, reasons, and the ratter as I think there are some why I should net decline of sued magnitude as not to be disre garded or overruled. Ore of which is, that my dealenahn might embarrass, poisibly occnioo, or have the appearance of a disorganization of the American party in Georgia. Tne statement of a few facta will mike manifest the imporUicJ of the continuance, and successful continuance, of tms p?rty in Georgia. In the convention in 1850, the State declared in tee paper known as the H orgia Platform , amoag other things, that n'.e would and ought to resist, aven aa a laat resort, to a disruption of every tie which bound her to the Union, any refusal by Con gaess to admit as a State any Te ritory thereafter applying, because o: the existence of slavery there la. The Kscsas Territory will soon aoplyforad se ssion into the Union as a slave State. It is rtaed Si Gov. Johnson, io his late letter of acceptance, at " the noised cohorts of free soilers anl aboli tionists wider"? what he chooses to style? " the black banner of Know Nothiugism"? bit really trader the uc pooular influence at the North, of the Nebraska and Kansas nlil have elected to t ?e aex> Congress a con trolling majority." If the state or tacts now existing shall continue, when KarsaB makes application for admission iaui the Union, she must be rejected 'under tola oon irellirg majoritv ; and then a disruption of every tie which binds Georg'a to the confederacy will inevitably take plice* The decree has gone forth, as prcc'umed by the 8'ate In her -ouveLtion of I860. Has Gov. Johnson or the democrat c party told us of any taupe from tne crisis, so certainly pending? llavs they devised any? or are they aeek lrg any? We cannot admit the unrelenting war waging through the Southern States to subject all to the iron mis ot democracy, to be such. For if ?very voter ii tb'ir borders were to bow the knee to its banner, and turn to St. Tammany iu devotion, it would not add another vote to the yeas when the Mil for the admission of Kansas shall be put u,ioo >*p usage; fcr the Southern vote, under whatever same, now is, and al vays will be, a untt in its favor. The war waging against the national American party lately organized at Philadelphia, to bring the . seeded aid from ths North, whence only it cm be had, is anything else than au effort to meet the criiis awaiting K*J>ras, and which we are spp-ojcVng tb? wetp eas tread of tim*. 'Ve hm hid <naiu figuring showing how the democtttio party has voted, nut none how it will ba able and willing to vote. Others more patriotic or vigilant, seeing th? old whig parly defunct, the democratic powerless, a?d the abolitionists and frees oil ers with a controlling msjuity in the next JPtpgrres, have combined in organizing a aew party? the AtnCjli an? with the hope that it poetesses principles or penality equal to ths exigencies of the Important oCasioH. Tu?S nnpoju larity of the Nebraska and Kansas bill, whic\ llrf an avalanche, swept over the North, orertopp'.og horse and rider, "capti'n anl cattle," dioalnUhiag and corrupting all parties, has lefc ths fa*e of tin admission of Kansas at the m:rcy of the fr*e soil pswer. The American party lately assembled at Pnila delpbia, after purging i'se f r f its free soil elenent, among ?th*r thiogs, resolved that Cing-ess pis aesaed ao power under the constitution toexclud* any State from admission into the Uoionbscause IU conatitnt.on does or does not rexigaiz-j tie institution of slaverv as a part of Its social system. Here is an accession of strength against thai con trolling majority depte ated by G overaor Johuson. If the democratic puty wenr. dasixoas of the admis sion of StHN a^ a s<uve dtate, ius'.ead of endea ?ering to crush, wculd they not cherish tbis new, and, wa hope, eflicisnt, al y against the coam m lot?

For when the vote sball oe taken on that measure, and the demo -ra:y shall be fouud too weak, (as they will, according t ? the admiisioi of GfT.

The isferenc* from all such eritickms ia, that Kansas may be rejected and the Uaion dieeolved, BJuJebi we i can obtain votes on a prinoipie we kilo* ta unpoanbie, and to na immaterial. A party whish thus cavils on " the ninth part of a hair," may poa ? o y desire the admission of Kanaaa, but that oastae msai be renr weak that is weighed against a quib b.?. i? looks significant of the amall value tin v placc upon the Union. . The philosophy of organizing new partis? con the selection of a platform of principles that will he acceptable to a majority of the nation, if possible; and though each may not be acceptable to all, yet, for the sake of some favorite principle, every member of the party will adopt the platform ss a whole. Just aa in deliberative assembled, a ccstiutioc, or a bill, may not be accent tble in every section, possibly, to any one member, yet lor the sake of the measure as a whole, or lor some favorite section, a majority may be cm tent to adopt the entire measure. So ths Northern portion of the American patty, suffering under tue grievance of foreiga influence, are willing ta adopt the whcle platform, the slavery sec don included; perhaps no*, so much for its own sake as for the sec tion concerning the amentf meat of the naturalization '**?? In thtee new issues we have none of those ?"iD(^c*s nor hostilities to eocountsr, which would be in the way of making converts to an old party. Since ?h?! manifestations of such indie if I nliate hostility by the democracy to th's, the only means of obta'iiing strength for the South, 1 have lost my sjmpa'by on account of their votes 03 the sUvery questions that have been before Congress. In charity, I bad supposed tbey were given from pure motives of justice and fidelity to the South; bit tie present indications are, that onless aid cm be had through the d? mocratie party It will not be adapt able. The wish seems to b* for democratic ratuer than s.;nthern strength. Ths reluctance that one might well have felt at being found in opposition to a "party, right in so important a matter, thongn wrong in others, is more than nentra'ized at tU8 fcunn latlrg discovery. ll>e American party cut loose from, and seut bcwliDg to their ders a*, the North, the abolition member* of their body; the first time, I brieve, tnat a party has, in convention, separated from, aid pub licly repudiated, a part of its body tor unsoundness on the slavery question. The democratic party still cherish ia the'r ranks the Van Burma, Kings, and forty-toree members ?t Congress who voted against fie Nebraska KtasA biif; and through their resident (who too ofton 1 gives bis platforms ?o the South and h:s acts to the North), have put under the ban Dickinson, B.wwj, ana others of the hard shell democracy, the m ist nno-mprcmiping and reliable friends the Soaih evor bed beyond t'e Potomac - proving "false atiica to toe fuenJe who BcrveJ, as well as the foes who would have spared them." It has bsen objected fhat t,he sound portioi of the American partv, North, ia too insignificant in num bers to b? relied on for support.. If no", already si from present in- icatiocs i . may, by the time Kansas applies for admission, bo mo e numerous than tha sound democracy North. But it matters not whether u may be ten or ttiirty; one vo'e may decide the pend CP?D *Ll0h tQe fitoof miJ Ijns ni?y de ^ bc'rg admitted that If the Kansas bill paiasa it must be by an accession of Northern votes, tha question constantly recurs? how can they bs haj ? i ho democracy (as admitted by Gov. Jolnstou.aid as shown by the vite on the Nebraski Kansas b"i when forty-three joined the free s oilers,) Is a da caving pa*ty, aud like the old whigs, oonsuming under tbe intense heat of popular iadign&ti m generated by the oJiousneaa of ?bal, measura at the North. If, notwithstanding their old democratic prejudices aid discipline, they desjrt by scores, wa can hardly expect recruit* even by unite. If these old democratic principles are so exhaust ed as not 021V to ba uuable to attract new msmbs s, bu? to hold the old oaes, it is worse than hopshss to fxaec*. apoessi.Bs from snch a drained source. It' deed I don't understaad the par y aa expecting any new reci uits from that quarter. Chsn we m 1st try new iisues, uew a'trac-ions aid nsw powers of cotesu.ii. 4 The American party are tauntingly asked, if i.he Georgia platform is satisfactory to tiem, wiy not join the democracy who have already taken tueir stand noon it. We object firtt, thit tbey have only tqnatted on one corner of it (the fourth rwolirtioi)*? a possessory title to ths whcle, fearing, at the fans time, to occupy other grounds very important to the old Lnion men of Georgia. Besides, V-.oss w .0 fought a principle as leng as there was hope of cor quest, are rot safe depositories of i s guardian ship. A'.d this ia beirg maie manifast b/ the incifltfenct, not to aay un srii!ingueM, as I have sh<'W!>, 'o crrtst a crisis whi h mist bring about a disruption cf the coofederaoy. fhose who, a few years since thMJgb* the sdmisaloa of a Bute wit^ such institutions aa she might choose to adopt concerning slavery, a go id cause for disruption, bu' n.w hold a restriction upon her discretion likstite a good cause for similar action, would ssem to be 1'Okir.g only for an cccasioa or excuse for dissolu tion, regircie's cf the cau>e.

But, 1 repeat, other and different circumstances lurrcund us; other necessities are upon us, and other duties command consideration. He most have been a very casual observer of the sign* of the times -a very indifferent observer of pawing events, if he oas not seen the ccmlng of a very different state of things. When those fierce political conflicts, which have marked the history of Tennessee for the past twenty je?rs, existed, we were threatened with no lmmmedlate danger from the puny efforts of the enemies it our rights and institutions. They were then regarded as ft few blind, infatuated fanatics, scattered over the country, ' like angels' visits, few and far between:" Uwy and tre-r effirU exciting s arceiy any other feel ng than tiat of pity or ccntemp*. Then they and their plans and purpose i had no other support than their feeble numbers and bl'id infatuation ceraJd sapoly; but now, grown iu numbers, strengthened by madness, (and our for bearance,) and supported by lav, they present thtmae'vis in bold, arrogant deflanoe, threatening the destruction of our lights, tven, a- the excuse of the Uni n. In tbe past few months we have seen these ene roic a of the Bouth; tlese revilers of our fathers: these latere of our icstit.u.ions; th?se trJlore to the constitution, assuming the most defiant attitude marshaling their forces and boldly proclaiming tneir purpose to exterminate slavery from the land. Listen at Mr. Wilsw, the other dayatPhlla de'phia, a delegate to the Ameticin (Convention. Addressing tbe South and 9 mthern delegates, he said:? "Ycu hav<e had the past -fie future Is ouri." And still later, John P.Hale, Senator elect from New Hampshire, adrensing an aaaemblv at Concord, said:? "I hoi J our (iu',v to be this- forgetful of all past difference* ? of all divisions and names, sects and partite ? to be true n en, and in the free Sta'es to come up In one solid phalanx, and give efficacy and effect to the sentiments and convictions of our hearts." These might be regarded as empty gasconade, or ihc more harmless threatening 01* lunacy; but let OB noi deceive ou/a?!ve9. Toese tbi eats come not ony in form, but tluy are sul fate ed bytle s>lema sanctions of many of the Spates of this Union. One aft or another, moat, if tot all, of the non-slaveboldtog Sta?s have,!i some form or other, given their samt'on to, and apprcva of, _ tbta cm ade against slavery.

A correspondent of the Nashville Union, ghrlng ?n Account of the speaking at Columbia, Teaaesiee, recounts the following scene which took pltce hi tween Major Donelson and General Pillow..? Just before Major Donelaon closed his speech, he came down on the Nashville convention with the sweeping statement that he had at the time de nounced the members of that body "as traitors." Gen. Pillow being in the crowd, promptly replied, "Yon He? yon lie, sir!" For a moment Major D> nelson was dlsconoerted, but rallied, and replied, "You are an impertinent fool." Gen. PJlow rusied towards the stand, bnt was arrested by toe crowd. Great excitement prevailed. Major DjneLon asked for a stick, which was handed to htm, and be pre sently came down from the staad ia the direction oi Gen. Pillow; bat there were many persons be tween them. and voices shouting to ' let Gen. Pillow get to htm." This being prevented, Msj >r D melson again took the stand. At this point there were deafening cheers for General Pillow, and this con tinued for some time, si that Major DoneLson was unable to proceed, and (isn. Piilow reqaeeted tne crowd to bear him through. Silence being restored, the Msjcr prooeeded. He said he did not mean to charge all the members of tie convention with b> icg traitors, bnt in this exception he did not embrace (Jen. Pillow. Gen Pillow then denounced him fleroely as a liar, and a traitor to the democracy, and to the country; and rnshed at the stand, bat was arrested. When Major Djnelson closed, Gen. Pillow was shouted for and mounted the stand. He sa'd he did not get up to syeak, out to apologize to the crowd for interrupting the discussion. I. was the first time he had ever done such a thing ii bis life, but le was d enounced as a traitor, and if be bad not resented it, he would have been ashamed of himself as a man and a patriot. He wu a member of the Nashville convention. It wis well known that the Tennessee delegation, of which he was a member, disapproved or the action or' the msjori y ot tbe convention, and withdrew from it. The charge maae by Major Dmelson was general, and embraced all the members ot the 'convention. The obarge of Major Djnelson was, that at tbe time the oonvention was sitting, he ( Donelson) de n ounce d tbe members of the convention as traitors. Gen. Pillow said to Major Donelson: "If yoa charge or insinuate that you tben denounced them ?s trai tors, or if yon no w make tbe char g?, it is fittal ? H is false, sir!" At this point, Uajor Donekon struct Gen. Pillow on the arm, and Gen. Piilow gave blm a blow on the head. They were then sepa rated. After great excitement, Gen. PlUo i a^tn ttok tbe stand and finished his remarks. liitritilliig Intelligent? About the Crop*. OUR MA6.?ACHl'8ETrfl CORHRSPONPEVCE. Boston, July 21, 1855. A Year of Pltnty? Production, of Neu> England? Agricultural Resource s of the Unitttl States? Tricks of the Speculators ? Hi'o Riiboads Aid thim?The Boston Abolitionist ? and their Ct'y Poor? Important F*od Statistics? Tit- Inferences to be Dra ion from them. Notwithstanding the high figures which still con thue to mle the provision mirkat, the fact that the present will be one of the m->st productive years which h?B been experienced in the United Stites for almost half a century, cannoi but have ma ie inelf clear to yourself and every general reader of the newspaper press. Not on'y do we bear of an no precede ntcd yield of potatoes, wheat, and the cthe ceieals, from all sections of our own land, during tbe present summer, but th? recent arrivals from Europe announce a tlmilar s'ate of things across the Atlantic. When we tike these fao'.s into consi. deration, the question natura'ly arises, how does it happen that tte present itUI exorbi aui pile so? ficur, potattes, meats and other provifioii, contlauo to tule? T .e only arswer I am. able to give Is, thit this year's harvest hEB not jet corns, and tiat speculators everlastingly bang oa lor h'gber prices, end never know when to sell at the right time. It Is only a few year* sine 3 that nearly trie whole supp'y of fiiur contained in New Eaglasd was brought here by vessels. Now it almost a l comes by railroad. Formerly It was either transported ftcm Norfolk and Bjlttmore, or else from NawYort city, having passed by canal across your 3ta>, and ?hence down tbe Hudson. Bat since the const tac t;on of a chain of raitroads from O^densbirg to Boa ten, the whole course of tbe northern New England ttour trade hat been changed- so rar as consumers ?e cotcirntd, for the worse, although hundreds of speculators may h?ve made fortunes thereby. Avail. ng themselves of the raUtoid fa:il.t'eito wbi,h I have referred, the New Eujland soecn a or tow go to Chicago, Clereland, DeToit, Ogdensburg aid other Western lake ports, early in the fall, m { nopo'jze the flour market, and for ward fieir pnr. . bases, as the Northern New Yoik and Ne * Eugland rai'joads tlnd it convenient to take freight, to tieir flour depots at Hinaa'e Point, Burlington, Vu, Concord, N. H., and other l-oitts, where storage coitB bnt little? all easily accessible to Boston. Fr m these country flour depots, they let on on'., such supplies for the Bjston market as there m?y be a demand for, at their own prices. It is in this point o! view that the people of New Eagland hate been made to softer doubly by the introduction ?t !org l'tee cr rallroal-?:?t, by the total low of thei subscriptions to the original stock, through m*m?. nsgement, ras:ality and peculation; anaseooad, by the facilities afforded, as I have de-:crib?d, to ftour and provision spesula".ori. ltsnk God that Hs^h ulw about to vouchsafe to us a year of plenty. For wi h another short crop, and tbe bid blnod whi :h our Northern demegogueshave excited b?t?ein tbe well meshing nanu'actur rsof she North and the planteia of the Bon'h-the former producing la'.mtit foi the latter, who, ia return, predate a very l?ge proportion of the cotUn, sugar, wheat as J prevision which the New Englanl pioplf c*ua)t iaiec for thetnselvei? our New Eiglud pjop e wcu'd lave ex;>e!ienced di.efol tim*s for the c >m ag twtlve months. Toe sufieringa ot the Ne* K ig..'. .i poorer classes, during the last inclement w.u -r, were terrible- worse than our newspapers dared t.. admit. And w'oile our Sunners, and ottvw ?' n gttasional demagogues, weie buiy in geUtag up ttetr snbsc'lptioi.s lor the manumission of aaa o eed white and negro girls, whit? starvation was stalking almost baietoo'' in this ci-y, and mat m? in m> oai!y walks in its cold, narro# streets, fre-inen'.y irith tbe tntrmomptcr indicating a teaa;X>r?.ore !cvt rai degreee be'ow zer>.

A recent trip of over four hnndred miles through the eaatern sections of Mn? rchustts, Maine aid New Hampshire, baa satisfied me that, theie ia bow, by at least 30 per cent, the largest crop of potatoes, corn, rye, oats and wheat growing ever known. The weather has been everything whlo"i the farmer could ask for. In the Immediate vicinity of Boston, aid other places near the sea coart, the grass crops will not be quite so good as last year, owing to the fact that there waa bat little snow lying Maine, thirty and forty mllea farther in the interior, thsre was a great depth of snow, which covered the ground for over three months of the coldest weat tier. There the gTasB is now universally excellent; and in many loca'ions. where the drought waa severe during the moLths of July and August of last year, the bay crept) will now turn out twice aid three tiroes larger than they then d<<L We have similar reports also from Vermont and western Massachu setts. The total New England bay crops, I feel con fident, will exceed that of last year by at least 30 per cent. Bo much for the New England crop#. Tae pr ? pect of a plenty of cattle, and a consequent pro ouctive season for butter, cbeese, Ac., is, of coarse, not so good, as the scarcity of bay last fall com pelted the farmers to reduce their stock to the sm ill est possible number. This scarcity, it is apparent o all, cannot be remedied in a aixgle jear, even with large crops. But still an abundant hirvdst will, necessarily, greatly reduce the present high prices of bief, porx, mutton, Ac., ana we already see them coming down to a respectable figure at your Ball's Head and our Cambridge and Brighton markets.
